Odell Beckham throws TD pass to Saquon Barkley on trick play

It’s safe to say that no one could have predicted Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. would throw a touchdown pass before catching one this season, and yet that’s exactly what ended up happening.

OBJ has yet to find the end zone this season, but he threw a dime to a teammate who was able to go the distance during Sunday’s game against the Panthers.

The Giants were trailing 17-3 at the time, in need of a big play, and OBJ helped spark one. It took place in the second quarter, when Eli Manning threw a quick pass to Beckham, who was just behind the line of scrimmage. Beckham then took a few steps back to set his feet and buy some time, then threw a perfect pass intended for Saquon Barkley — who was wide-open downfield, in the flat. The pass hit him in stride, and no one could catch Barkley in the foot race, and he went into the end zone untouched.
